Course One: BRIDGE
Within the first five years of teaching, nearly 50% of teachers quit the profession. Why? Because most schools of education and alternative teaching programs fail to prepare incoming educators by not giving them the essential tools they need to thrive in the classroom. In week one of L.I.T, we provide the BRIDGE to fill the gaps missed in higher education.
